Laurie Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I bought 50 or 100, I can't remember which now, from Henry Krank in Pudsey some years back. The company occasionally got them, but whether that still applies I wouldn't know. They worked fine. I always thought it would have been interesting to shoot them in some open space somewhere at a steepish muzzle elevation to see the little cartridge's longer range trajectory - but never did.

MrCetrizine Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I had some a while back. They don't burn for long, 100-120m and they go out. The place I got them went bust, I've no idea who'd have them now as they aren't much use except for a 10 minute giggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter87 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'd be interested in a group buy if anyone wants to get some in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz1409 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'd be interested in some too. I did search for them last year but could not find anyone here who stocked them or even knew where to get them from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1066 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Ahh! You mean like this : These are great fun to shoot, especially at the longer ranges. I recently contacted Eley direct and they told me they no longer make them and have no plans to do so. If you do find an old box you might be disappointed, I find the have quite a short shelf life. I horded a couple of boxes for around 5-7 years and didn't work at all when I tried them recently. They are still made by other companies abroad but not seen any here other than the Eley ones (I have seen old military .22's but again didn't trace at all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 RWS make them , I still have few left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did search for them last year but could not find anyone here who stocked them or even knew where to get them from. I think someone with the powers to import them would have more than enough customers willing to buy them for fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tackb Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've got some eley in the cupboard but they don't work anymore (light up) so i'd be up for a group buy as well and this time I would use them sooner as they don't seem to have a great shelf life?

Jamie Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm in, if a group buy can be sorted. Saying that, what would happen if the importer/rfd lives miles away, how does it look for transfer to my rfd cost wise?? atb Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattnall Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have a few hundred Eley and RWS here that I'm saving for another night shoot. The Eley ones light at fairly short distance (at a rough guess around the 20yd mark) and burn out quite quickly. The RWS ones however don't ignite until they are around 50yds but will stay glowing until somewhere around the 200+ mark. Much better. I know Eley don't make them any more (they burnt the machinery) and I think RWS may have stopped making them as well. If another supplier could be sourced that is willing to ship to the UK there may be a market. However many ranges would not allow them so they might sit on a shelf for some time. A company in the US make them (I cannot fin the details just now) in various colours of 'glow' but the cost was quite prohibitive before you even looked at shipping.

Mattnall Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 http://pineymountainammunitionco.com/ Looks like they retail at around a dollar a shot, if the usual mark up applies with importing that will equate to about £1.00 per shot or more.
